My brand new motherboard takes 15 minutes to detect my monitor, and another 15 to boot into the built-in BIOS.
How bad did I fuck up? There's not even an OS on this thing yet.
install gentoo

update the firmware

Unless you bought a motherboard from 1985 you should be fine

And how do I do that without an OS?
pull the cmos battery, take the mobo out of the case and see if it has the same problems on some cardboard

Fuck my ESL english teacher; brand new is a completely proper word. I'm not fucking writing "new brand" like a dyslexic, this means something completely else.
it refers to something just bought, damn it
